Famous Last Words...

Yesterday, I went to the first rehearsal of the forthcoming staged reading of my play Famous Last Words, to be performed next Friday and Saturday, November 9 and 10, at the Colonial Little Theater in Johnstown, NY. The director had been telling me there were some “unconventional” casting choices, and the lead dropped out abruptly and had to be replaced, so I was a tad nervous. But I thought everyone did a great job. It’s always interesting how directors and performers have different interpretations than I had in mind, and I’m curious to see how it all works out in front of an audience. Everyone was rally enthusiastic—and liked the play!—which helps a great deal. Listening to things read back, I hear a few clunky things I should change...
